How to Protest Safely During a Pandemic In light of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna
Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, people are taking to
the streets to protest police violence. For those looking to show their support,
here is advice for how to stay safe
during a protest in the time of COVID-19. Wear a mask:
Just as you would wear a mask to get groceries,
it is equally important to keep your face covered
while in a large crowd of protestors. Maintain social distance:
Staying six feet apart from fellow protestors
may be difficult, but it is important to maintain
as much space as possible. Protect your eyes and body:
Tear gas and rubber bullets are common
at demonstrations. Cover up as much
as you can to prevent being hurt. Be cautious with technology:
Leave your phone at home if possible to
avoid revealing locations and incriminating
yourself or others.
